OPPO F1

The Oppo F1 is an upper entry-level smartphone designed to cater to the selfie-crazy generation. Tagged as the ‘Selfie Expert’, it houses an 8 megapixel f/2.0 lens on the front of the device. There are features to remove blemishes and brighten your skin (called Beautify 3.0) and even a front-facing screen flash, that much like the new iPhone 6s, shines brightly to illuminate your face when taking selfies in the dark. The Oppo F1 is a thin phone measuring in at just 7.3mm and weighs just 134 grams. It will fit well in your pocket too, thanks to a reasonably-sized 5.0-inch display. Unfortunately, the display resolution is 1280x720 pixels, which is less when compared to the phones in that price point. There’s Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to protect the screen.

On the inside, the Oppo F1 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 octa-core chip paired with an ample 3GB of RAM. There’s 16GB of internal storage, with a microSD card expansion slot that can take it up to 128GB of more storage. In case you’re wondering what’s up with the rear camera, it’s a 13MP f/2.2 shooter with phase detection autofocus and an LED flash. The Oppo F1 looks pretty slick too; it’s got chamfered edges and metal edges. It runs Oppo’s custom theme titled Color OS on top of Android 5.1. Powering this hardware is a modestly-sized 2500mAh battery. A comparable phone to the Oppo F1 would be the Lenovo Vibe S1.
